As many of you know, I launched my campaign blog a few weeks ago and I just wanted to say how great things are going. When we lauched the blog, I said that my hope was for it to be a window into our campaign and a reflection of the values we hold dear—openness, community, civility, and security. I have not been disappointed. The blog is and will continue to be a place where all of us can share and exchange ideas and where we can and will organize to win. I am particularly appreciative of the thoughtful comments and feedback on energy and other issues being discussed. |
